Such a bomb-diggity class discussion...

The List of Discursive Self-Policing per our discussion today in Theory of Anth class.

* "wild hair" (ie "I can even handle cutting 'black people' hair.")
* violence in the community (ie Queens' bridegroom & the popo's)
* "illegal aliens" vs. "undocumented immigrants"
* gender=sex (us trying to enter the black box!)
* PCness
* acting as though you deserve being or belong in an airport box, being searched the TSA by the same-sex.
* women and sexual freedom
* de-sexualized senior citizens
* controlled in school/ letting it all hang out on break... American college culture?
* traffic personas-social black box- not fellow human beings
(George Carlin: ...You'll never truly learn to curse until you start driving.)
* that's "gay," reclaiming of terms... where or when you police or don't.

Where are you least self-policed? Where are you most accepting of a social order?

YIKES.
Love this class.

PS Lakers are throwing it DOWN, but who's on the Jazz now anyway?
I wonder how you dub a fear of George Karl as a phobia... since I've had it since I was 3.
